Septicat's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Star Wars Gangsta Rap: SE]

Awww yeeeahhh!!

Oh, man, that was excellent! The original was very good, but you've really outdone yourself on this one. The new sequences and character designs really add a lot. I especially liked the new Cloud City Duel and the new opening remarks animation for Vader and the Emperor. I can't wait to see the extended ending. Anyway, it's a wonderful movie! Well done!

[The Anti-Drug]

Well...

The recreation of the accident was certainly well orchestrated, but the remainder seemed like the same sort of cookie-cutter anti-drug ad I've seen countless times. On a sidenote, I don't agree with your message as it was stated (that is, that marijuana use was solely responsible for the tragic deaths of these young men) and the whole spot seemed more like an irrational appeal rather than something that would actually make people seriously consider the potential consequences of their actions. The spot takes (or at least I presume, considering its backers) the opinion that all drugs are inherently bad and deadly, but I think that it's not so much the drugs themselves that lead to deaths, but the irresponsible and reckless attitudes of the people who use them. Eliminating all the drugs in the world, no matter how thoroughly, will solve this problem. A message such as this is better spent getting people to think rather than just presenting a propogandic message.

[HL1 Barney gets pissed]

That made me LOL

Hahah, what a great idea! I'd definitely like to see more of these! I think you're on to something good here. Keep 'em coming.

WolfySnackrib responds:

Roger that :) I'll do another one tommorow, I'm gonna go to bed in a while

[Lobster The Lobster Ep 11]

Nice one.

I think this is my favorite so far. That thing with the text was hilarious, as are the self-performed sound effects. Keep 'em coming, man.

Yarharhar responds:

Thanks for the great comments!

[Frijolero(Beaner)]

Anyone who takes offense at this missed the point.

Nice vid. I liked the anti-discrimatory message of the song, and the cartoon-look really nicely complemented the way the song looks at racism (sarastic with some humor to it). I can see it being offensive if somebody thought that the song was calling everybody in the United States a racist, but I wasn't offended and I don't think that was the idea anyway. Anyway, I enjoyed it. Good song, slick animation - Nicely done.

[Peoplemation: Spin]

I enjoyed it very much!!

I was absolutely blown away by this movie. Technical magnificence, great soundtrack that adds a lot to the live-action-cartoon feel, great concept with hilarious sight gags and physical humor, and a very satisfying conclusion. Very well done. For the first peoplemation movie on Newgrounds, you have indeed set a very high standard.

Dustball responds:

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the ending as well... we often struggle with finding just the right ending, to make a complete story rather than just a bunch of pointless animation technique that leads to nothing. We were very happy when we came with a suitable ending that payed off the ideas that had been set up!

[The most Precious thing..]

Awwww!!!

That was nice. At first I was afraid it was veering too much toward the derivative, but the ending saved it. Props.

SwEecH responds:

Tkz !
next one will be better ^^

[Spring Drawn]

Technically impressive

Very nice animation. I like how it all came together. My only suggestion would maybe be that some background music might make it more interesting. Incredible graphic work, though. Good job.

Tept responds:

there's music. think it fits?

[FF-Starcraft 1]

Nothing special

It wasn't exactly bad, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere. The narrative was a bit vague, and there were a lot of spelling and grammatical errors in the dialogue. I did, however, think it sounded good and looked pretty nice, though the sprites didn't seem to do much in and of themselves. So, don't get discouraged. If you just fixed some things up, it could be a pretty good animation.
